With every new feature we introduce to Google Cloud Billing, we strive to provide your business with greater flexibility, control, and clarity so that you can better align your strategic priorities with your cloud usage. In order to do so, it’s important to be able to answer key questions about your cloud costs, such as:

  • “How is my current month’s Google Cloud Platform (GCP) spending trending?”
  • “How much am I forecasted to spend this month based on historical trends?”
  • “Which GCP product or project is forecasted to cost me the most this month?”

Today, we are excited to announce the availability of a new cost forecast feature for Google Cloud Billing. This feature makes it easier to see at a glance how your costs are trending and how much you are projected to spend. You can now forecast your end-of-month costs for whatever bucket of spend is important to you, from your entire billing account down to a single SKU in a single project.
